Her relationship with God was one of most importance. Colleen was very active in the Prague Assembly of God Church for 28 years where she and friends in the church baked thousands of Kolaches as a fund raiser at the annual Kolache Festival. As a homemaker for the most part of her life, she developed numerous skills and hobbies. She sewed many of her family’s clothes especially matching Easter and Christmas outfits as well as many outfits for the Kolache contests. For a time, she worked outside of the home as a seamstress at Blue Bell Wrangler in Prague. Colleen immensely enjoyed raising chickens, a huge garden, a small grape vineyard and an orchard of apples, pears and peaches. She took pride in her canning expertise as her fruits, vegetables, grape juice and jelly was enjoyed by family and friends alike.
